Frequently asked questions about brightside.dot

For digital wallets, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control.

What documents do I need to register brightside.dot with priority?

To register brightside.dot with trademark priority, you need a valid TMCH SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse proving you own a mark matching brightside.dot. No documents are required for a standard pre-order of brightside.dot. Upload your SMD and begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for BNPL checkout?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

How does securing brightside.dot reassure investors and partners about NicNames?

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for payroll disbursements?
